About this work

This sketch shows a woman in a sleek black dress with a fitted bodice and a flared skirt. Her hair is styled in a short, voluminous updo, and she stands confidently with one hand resting on her hip. The dress has a simple neckline and a tied waistband, giving it a clean, modern look. The title *Diamant noir* (black diamond) hints at the dress’s sharp, elegant lines. The small sketch beside it shows the dress’s back view, with a V-neck and a gathered waist. Look up Carven to see more of this designer’s work.
